  ** New option `load-prefer-newer' affects how the `load' function chooses
  the file to load.  If this is non-nil, then when both .el and .elc
  versions of a file exist, and the caller did not explicitly specify
  which one to load, then the newer file is loaded.  The default, nil,
  means to always load the .elc file.

Joy! I'm sorry my timing was bad, in that I looked into this after it had been committed, but before it had been released. Thanks for the intelligence.
